SEPTIME (Synchronized Earth Prayer Time) Revisited
Global connection at the same time of many Christians (and others) in a common prayer for humankind and its urgent needs every day from 3.00 - 3.05 p.m. Greenwich time - to form a wide channel between God and humanity in order to increase the love and power from God on our planet and thereby unitedly support the manifestation of His will for us and the transformation of our world.
Strategy:
• You who want to join the SEPTIME to pray for humankind on a Biblical foundation seek at the time given a quiet place wherever you are - in the kitchen, bedroom, fields, etc.
• Pray for one to fine minutes (or more) for the urgent needs of mankind - whether globally, for your region, city and/or friends and family and what else is on your heart. The targets of prayers you can get from the news of the last week for the respective field of prayer and/or find your own prayer targets.
• The time for prayer is chosen because of the fact that most people in the world have and most people are awake at the suggested time of the day, except for the Pacific Area (around 7 a.m. in the western North and South America, 11 p.m. in eastern Asia).
• It is recommended that your prayer start with the Lord's prayer, then followed by the specific prayers in the Name of Jesus.
• No network for further directions should be needed. The message of the SEPTIME prayer could be spread through congregations, Christian media, social media and other ways that the Lord shows us.
About SEPTIME:
In the Sweden-prayer, we have some good experience of prayer in distance when we meet "in the Spirit" and many of us then recognize a "wind of prayer". It might work for people to have a short regular prayer time where to join brothers and sisters in Christ in prayers for mankind, for the nation, for the city/village or what else God puts on our minds. Think of the picture of an electrical very thick wire, consisting of many, many little threads transporting the power. Maybe a global prayer connection will work in a similar way.

Girls of 13 given birth control jab at school without parents’ knowledge
Schoolgirls as young as 13 are being given contraceptive injections and implants during lunch-breaks without their parents’ knowledge. School nurses have given implants or jabs to girls aged between 13 and 16 more than 900 times in the past two years, a survey by The Daily Telegraph has found. On more than 20 occasions this has been given to girls aged 13. A further 7,400 girls aged 15 and under have been given contraceptive injections or implants at family planning clinics. Under the patient confidentiality rules, nurses are banned from seeking the permission of parents beforehand, or even informing them afterwards, without the pupil’s permission. Dr Peter Saunders, Chief Executive of the Christian Medical Fellowship, said sex under the age of 16 is illegal and ‘to facilitate such behaviour behind parents’ backs is unprofessional, irresponsible and morally wrong’. Earlier this year, parents in Southampton were furious after discovering that implants were being offered to their daughters
Pray: for parents to be allowed to fulfil their responsibilities and moral guidance for their children and not have them covertly removed by government agencies. (Gal.5:19)
Value people more than money and materials - bishop
The Bishop of Hereford has asked people to think about who and what they value most in the light of recent headlines. Responding to the abduction of April Jones and reports of abuse by Jimmy Savile, Bishop Anthony Priddis said the terrible headlines underlined the need for people to love and care for each other, particularly the young. ‘So often we can give the impression that money or material things or fame come first, rather than people,’ he said. ‘Few of us really believe that, but we can easily live as though that appears to be the case.’ He urged people to put others first and do everything they can to let them know how valued and loved they are. ‘This is the responsibility and joy for all of us as parents and grandparents, but it needs us also to care for those not just in our own families but among our friends and wider community,’ the bishop said.
Pray: for the Bishop’s words to be heeded and that we will all more openly practice such values in our daily lives. (Mtt.6:19)
